Directory:Magnet Motors

From PESWiki

Directory of technologies and resources relating to the process of converting the power of magnetism into mechanical force and motion, with no other input.

A magnetic motor (or magnet motor) is a device which converts power of or relating to or caused by magnetism (e.g., "magnetic forces") into mechanical force and motion, with no other input. It usually provides rotary mechanical motion. The machines that utilizes the properties of a magnet for mechanical energy.

Overview

Updated August 2, 2011

As of today, there still are no plans that I know of that surely result in a magnet motor. However, that could change in the next few weeks, as someone has come forward with a design that they are talking about open sourcing. I'm in process of getting those, having a few built to confirm the design, and then publishing the plans.

Also, the number of people I have met who adamantly claim to have built a working all-magnet motor has increased; though I myself still have never seen one myself.

I've also met a person who is an extremely gifted inventor who told me that some 30 years ago he was told that at some point he would invent an all-magnet motor that would substantially help the planet. He seems to have been pushed closer to maybe finally getting around to that.

There is one alleged working design that I am confident is real, that has been powering a house for 1.5 years with only a 5% drop in magnetism over a 1 year period. The inventor doesn't want to take it forward himself, but he is willing to sell it outright to someone who will take it forward, for many million dollars. If you know someone who might be interested, let me know.

Witnesses

Conventional physics says that it is "impossible" for magnets to provide a primary energy source. Yet thousands of researchers worldwide have been pursuing the task of building a working magnet motor. Many claim to have achieved this objective. None has reached the marketplace yet.

New Energy Congress Members Witness Magnet Motors

Running Magnet Motors Witnessed - Four of twenty New Energy Congress members who responded to a week-long poll said they had personally witnessed a magnet motor in operation in which magnets were the only motive force. A follow-up poll presented to the general public shows a similar ratio. (PESN; Sept. 28, 2007)

Take an old laptop HDD and remove the metal front plate, you will find a magnet mounted on mu-metal. It can be purchased cheaply in sheet form.
